Urban Decay - The Naked Palettes

Hey Everyone!

So first off, sorry this post is a day late!
Also, it is just Mouse here!
So today, I wanted to talk to you about the three Naked Palettes by Urban Decay! I am only going to tell you about the Naked 1,2, 3 palette, not the other Naked items that Urban Decay do like the Naked on the Run palette.
So let's get started!

First off, the Naked Palettes are no where near cheap! At a pricey £38 or $54 per palette at the moment you would probably have to save up for them! There are some great dupes in drugstores though!

The Naked palettes are very pigmented and beat many other high end eye shadows with the outstanding quality.

So the first Naked palette, if you haven't seen it before, looks like this...

The colours are bronze-hued according to the Urban Decay website. It's packaging is magnetic and has  a velvety texture to the outside of it.

The Naked 2 Palette looks like this...

It has a lovely range of shades for any occasion. These colours are taupe-hued. It comes in a tin like packaging.

The last of the Naked palettes is the Naked 3, which looks like this...

These are beautiful rose-hued neutrals which add a bit of colour to the boring brown eyeshadow look! The packaging is very similar to the Naked 2's packaging put is slightly more textured.

Overall, the palettes are worth the money because of their outstanding quality! Just try and save up for them!

Which is your favourite eyeshadow palette?

Also, any other products you would like us to talk about?

We will be giving out shoutouts for anyone who answers either of those questions!

Starting off with make up: recommendations

Hey everyone!
It's just giraffe here today because again we couldn't meet up in the weekend. But anyway, today I'm going to give you a few recommendations of make up to get you started with make up!

1. If your only just starting with make up I wouldn't go right ahead with foundation, I would just start with wearing concealer (you can skip this if you don't get spots, blemishes or red blotchy skin). But the concealer that I recommend is the Collection Lasting Perfection! This is really affordable and gives very good coverage.

2. I think mascara just finishes off your eyes without the need to wear eyeshadow. The mascara I would recommend is the Maybeline the Falsies. If you can afford it, I would recommend MAC Zoom Lash- this honestly does NOT budge!!

3. Blush wise I would suggest Collection shimmer shades. I think we have mentioned this before in a post but it just gives an amazing subtle rosey effect on the cheeks!! (You can tell I'm a fan of it haha)

4. Finally, the lips! If you want to you can just apply lip balm if your like me and you prefer doing your eyes. But if you want a natural look I would go for the Tanya Burr lipgloss in Chic! Honestly, this is like the perfect nude shade and it looks good on anyone! If you want a neutral lipstick, I would go for one from MUA! MUA Lipsticks are really affordable and are a good pigmentation level.


I think these 4 things are all you need If you are starting off with makeup and I've worn makeup for a while now and sometimes I only wear the above!! If you want something extra, I would wear a frosty or natural eyeshadow on the lid and blended at the crease.
Also, if you want to powder your face because it looks a bit shiny, I would use the rimmel stay matte powder!
I hope you enjoyed this post and remember to tweet us and follow us on........

Spring Fashion

Hey guys!

So it's mouse today, unfortunately giraffe and I couldn't meet up! *cry cry* so I thought I would do a nice quick and easy, step by step post about Spring Fashion!

So first off you need to swap your heavy winter jacket for a nice thinner one!
So depending on where you live (you might not even need one) you need to pick one suitable to the temperature! Sorry if you live in the Southern hemisphere and it isn't Spring!

Pastel colours are always in during spring and all the dark colours from winter are out!
If you don't feel comfortable with brights and pastels but still want to make your outfit more 'springy' add a small amount of colour? Maybe just a bit of detailing on your t-shirt or go for a lighter makeup look!

Add some nice accessories! Floral = spring! So maybe a nice flower crown, and necklace that incorporates flowers!
Go mad with the floral theme! It doesn't just have to be accessories, it could be embroidered on your cardigan/trousers etc.

There are so many good shops to buy springy things from but we really like...
Primark
Topshop
New Look
Forever 21
Target

Ok, So sorry for the short post today! Hope you liked it anyways!

A-Z Beauty Tips!

Hey guys!

First off, we are TWO pageviews off 700!!! How incredible is that? We have been working on this blog for less than a YEAR! So thankyou!!

So onto the post! Today we wanted to do a really cool and unique blog post so here it is...
A-Z Beauty Tips!

Enjoy!

A- Angled brushes are good for doing eye brows or making smokey eyeliner with eye shadow.

B- Bold colour pop: if you aren't comfortable with colour but want to step out of your comfort zone try a colourful shadow just on you lash line.

C- Caila's Creations is a great place to get make up tips!!!Haha x

D- Dark colours: Try a very small amount of dark eyeshadow lining your lids and smoke out with an angled brush (look at A) for a soft, smokey look!

E- Eyeliner 101: when doing a thick line, to make it look glossy, do the outline with a marker (one for eyes!!) and fill it in with a liquid liner :)

F- Favourite Budget Beauty Brands: MUA, Simple, Collection, Elf and Barry M.

G- Gel: Eyebrow gels are great if you're in a hurry because you simply have to swipe it along the brow and your done! Also if your starting off with eyeliner, gel eyeliner with an angled brush is really easy to apply.

H- Hair: Thought we would throw in hair in here as well! Try not to put your hair up at night because when your hair is in a bobble it is extremely bad for your hair and easily breaks it. If you put it up at night and sleep with it up for around 8 hours every night it can damage it very easily so stay away from the bobbles!

I- Individual lashes for a more natural look than a full strip of false lashes!

J- Jet black eyeshadow looks incredible when applied lightly into the crease and blended out well!

K- Kabuki Brushes are great for powder and blending!

L- Lips: If you have a really nice lipstick that you wish was matte, just dust some translucent powder on top for a matte finish!

M- Manicure: If you don't have nail art tools, a toothpick is a good replacement for a dotting tool, and if you put two pieces of tape next to each other on the nail and fill it in with nail polish you can get a stripe that replaces a striper brush.

N- Night time: In the evening a few things you should make sure to do are: take off make up, cleanse your face, tone (if you have enough time) and moisturise.

O- Open pores: if you have very open pores there are some products that can help! Why not try the POREfessional by Benefit?

P- Plumper lips; to get plumper lips, exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush. Then suck on a small lid (for example) for about 30 seconds. Apply a lip liner just outside the natural lip line. Apply a lipstick, highlight the very middle of your lips with a frosty eyeshadow. Finally add a  super shiny and glossy lipgloss!

Q- Quick makeup application: Instead of blending foundation for HOURS (jk) replace it with a touch more of concealer. Do this with most of your makeup steps, try and replace them with a slightly quicker alternative and think, do you really need all that makeup on today? Is it necessary? Sometimes this tip is really useful when in a rush!

R- Rhinestones are pretty and perfect for a quick but stylish and professional accent on the nails.

S- Smile when applying blush so that you can see the apples of your cheeks easily.

T- Tear duct/ Inner corner: Add a light shimmery shadow for a pretty highlight.

U- Under eye circles: Apply concealer in a triangle/V Shape on the bags and then pat lightly to blend in for better coverage.

V- Viva glam Nicki range by Mac is beautiful if a bit pricey!

W- White eyeliner: Apply to the tight line and waterline for the effect of wider eyes.

X- Xtreme (Yes that's not how to spell extreme but X is tough!) volume from different hair care products including Dry Shampoo. We recommend Batiste!

Y- YouTube is a great place for beauty.

Z- Zzzz... Catch them whilst you can!

OK so some of these were a bit dodgy so if you can think of better ones, tweet us or follow us on Instagram! We have recently gotten 200 followers on Twitter and are now aiming for three hundred. We follow back on Twitter and Instagram!

Spring Room Decor! Part 2 :)

Hey Everyone!

So it's just giraffe today because we couldn't meet up in the weekend.But anyway, it is soon going to be Spring!! As you probably know we have already done a series like this before, so this is going to be like a part 2 to that and if you want you can have a look at the other post for some more inspiration :)

1. Pastel colours are always 'in' around spring time. You could do this with pillows, curtains, bed sheets or even paint your walls!

2. Although it is a couple of months away, easter is going to be here soon. As a decoration to go with easter and the pastel theme, why not purchase some polystyrene or plastic eggs and paint them with lots of patterns. You can then put them in a basket (for example) and have them on display.

3. I don't know about you but I LOVE flowers. A cool way to add these to your bedroom is by taking some faux flowers and cutting off the 'stem'. Then hot glue them onto some chord or string and have them around your bed frame or desk! This is another take on the fairy lights idea.

4. Of course at spring time, all of the baby animals are born!! If you love animals like us, why not have a few baby animal posters! You could also have a string of pictures of animals if posters are your thing.

Sorry this was a bit of a short post but it was just to give you some more inspiration! :) Hopefully next week we will be able to meet up to write the post.

Beauty Tips and Advice

Hey guys!

So we are going to be doing a slightly different (ish) blog post! Today we are doing Beauty Tips and Advice! And guess what we are doing this post together!!! Whoop whoop!

The first tips are about Eye Make Up!!
1.On hooded eyes, matte shades are good to make the eyelid appear less hooded.
2.Applying a white eyeliner on the waterline will make your eye look larger and brighter.
3.When applying mascara push the wand up at the roots of your eyelashes. Also wiggle the wand and pull it up for long lashes.
4.Here's a diagram to help you with the proportions for your eyebrows:

The next tips are about Nail Polish:

1.When doing straight lines in your nail art try using tape but remove the tape as soon as you have finished applying the nail polish.

2. Most people don't have fancy nail tools (unless you are a nail artist) so if you want a nice dotting tool, a toothpick is perfect or a cocktail stick!

3. If you tend to get nail polish on your fingers put PVA glue around the nail and cuticle area to prevent the nail varnish getting on your skin. Then peel it off after the manicure has dried. Vaseline and latex also works.

4. You can make 3D nail decorations out of fimo clay.

These tips are about your lips:

1. To make your lipstick matte put translucent or talcum powder over the lipstick. Apply generously.

2. On the outer corner apply a darker lipstick to shade and tone your lips, giving the effect of fuller lips.

3. Exfoliate your lips with a clean toothbrush for smooth lips.

4. To contour and highlight your lips, use a bronzer underneath your bottom lip and a highlighter on your cupids bow.

Valentines Day Ideas! Simple and Easy!

Hey guys!

So today, it's mouse again! And seeing as Valentines Day is coming up I thought I would give you some nice ideas of what things you could do, make on Valentines Day whether you have a Valentine or not!

First off a few things to make!

You can make some really sweet treats which are nice and easy to create!

For a very easy treat to make in 5 minutes, how about decorating some marshmallows?

These marshmallows look really pretty and are simple to make, all you need are some large marshmallows, little sticks to put them on, sprinkles and icing! It's pretty self-explanatory, just decorate the marshmallows however you like! It would be quite fun to do this with your friends or your Valentine!

For a nice little gift for Valentines Day you can make anything from letters to cuddly toys but these really cute letters are simple and easy to make.

And they don't just have to be for Valentines Day they can be for your friends/family etc.

Finally a little activity to do on Valentines Day!

If you are stuck for what to do on Valentines Day evening, go and do some baking (you could make the marshmallows) with or without your Valentine and then go and watch a movie with all of your nice treats! Don't forget the hot chocolate!

For any more ideas be sure to check out Pinterest, Instagram and Google Images ha ha!
